Dry eye disease is often treated with artificial tears, but emerging research suggests the problem may run much deeper. Deficiency of DHA, a critical omega-3 fatty acid concentrated in the retina and ocular surface, may contribute to inflammation, tear instability, and meibomian gland dysfunction. Understanding the nutritional connection between DHA and ocular health may provide a more effective long-term strategy for improving comfort, protecting vision, and reducing chronic

Emerging research suggests elevated uric acid may contribute to macular degeneration through oxidative stress, inflammation, and vascular dysfunction. Often linked to diet and metabolic health, hyperuricemia may represent a modifiable risk factor for vision loss. Understanding and managing uric acid levels could play a role in protecting long-term retinal health.
